SL will turn six soon. Are you ready?

https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/community/events/blog/2009/05/06/when-second-life-turns-six

Q. What is the Event Maturity Rating?

A. The Second Life 6th Birthday Celebration takes place on the main Second Life Grid and is a PG event for Adults 18 years and older. The definition of PG within Second Life can be found here.

The current definition is:

"A Region may be designated PG so long as it does not advertise or make available any content that is suggestive of any (even mildly) sexual or violent themes, or references to social drug or alcohol usage."

This event's rating means the following are in effect throughout the event. This applies across the spectrum, from streaming media, avatar representation, exhibitor material and to conduct while in attendance or exhibiting.

* No depictions or incidents of violence or gore.
* No depictions or incidents portraying sexual activity or sexual suggestion.
* No depictions or incidents explicitly advocating or suggesting drug or alcohol use.
* No nudity.

Linden Lab and the Resident Organizers reserve the right to determine when an edge case is no longer PG.

Q: Can I come as a kid avatar?

A: Yes. Everyone is welcome at the Birthday festivities, both as exhibitors and attendees. We just ask that each individual, whether participating as an exhibitor or attending as a spectator, fully comply with our PG standards. This includes not only content on display but also Avatar representation. Essentially, if you want to run around in a short Avatar, a dragon avatar or a fire hydrant avatar, that's fine, as long as it's PG.

Q: Does that mean we can show pictures of kid avatars and adults together? What's allowed?

A: We appreciate the fact that Second Life is a diverse world that includes a great many role-play families. As long as every exhibitor adheres to our general guidelines regarding content, there is no problem. We have no issue with photos of adults with children. We just ask that photos on display (in all areas) take into consideration content, context and perspective. Again, Linden Lab and the Resident Organizers reserve the right to determine when a case is no longer PG.

Two world collide?

Gemini Endfield and Richardus Raymaker and I all help a fellow Goony and kid avie out at NCI. I should explain. riddarholm Andel in the SLC chat was asking for free boys hair. So I told him about NCI's freebie wall. I tp'd from Raglan to NCI to help out. Gemini and Richardus both followed the link I put in the chat and we all helped out. Richardus and Gemini stayed for a bit. I think Richardus got some freebies but didn't tell. I hope they come back again.

Road trip day 1

I went on a road trip the past two days. I took an airship to my starting point and then rode my bike back. I was droped off at the Bay City Airship Terminal. I then took to biking the rest of the way to the Ahem welcome center. Bay City Airshp Terminal I stopped off at a cool diner and dance place. All done up in 50's style, but there wasn't anyone there so I just had a cola, checked out the cool stuff including a hot rod and then went on. Josies's Bay City Diner I biked for a time looking at the stores, homes and miscellanies buildings. Also included on this road is some trolley stops, parks and a playground. Swing sets and park You know how us kid avis are, we just have to stop and play at playgrounds. I played for a while testing out all the cool stuff until I smelled something fowl in the air. Bay City Dept of Sanitation It was the Bay City Dept. of Sanitation; Pumping Station #1. Their motto: "It's not rocket science". My response: "Well, I hope no...
